- The outcome of Design, Innovation and Product development research is often manifested asrecommendations in the form of methods, but these do not always find their way intoindustrial application. This paper elaborates on drivers and barriers for the spread of productdevelopment methodology based on 41 interviews with managers, designers, developers andknowledge brokers. Results indicate a range of motives for adopting methods including e.g.coordination of different actors, generation of documentation, methods serving as tools forvarious design tasks etc. However; the value of tools must be seen in relation to localconditions and practices. The spread of methods occurs between and within organisations andmay be actively supported while ideally “good tools spread themselves”. Participants call formethods to be scalable or malleable, guiding, informing and enabling without constraining orenforcing too rigid procedures.

- Computer-based design analysis is nowadays of utmost importance for most engineering design projects. However, this brings some challenges, among them that of the collaboration between engineering designers and design analysts. Since they work with, and are responsible for, different areas, they do not necessarily have full insight into each other’s way of working. The issue of integration between the design analysis process and the engineering design process is of major significance for providing an increase in efficiency and effectiveness in engineering design and development of products. In this work, an approach is proposed aiming at providing this increase in efficiency and effectiveness. Based on the analysis of the information workflow between the engineering design process and the design analysis process, a mapping of the necessary interactions between engineering designers and design analysts can be made. The presented approach facilitates this mapping. An application of this approach to an industrial project is also presented.

- In the large majority of product development projects, computer-based design analyses are performed to assess the feasibility of potential technical solutions. As a first step to bring about a deeper understanding of the interactions between the engineering design and the design analysis activities, a survey has been performed in industry. The results of the survey cover: the use of design analysis within product development, the interactions of engineering design along the design analysis process, and the treatment of uncertainties and errors connected to the design analysis activities.

- In most industrial product development projects, computer-based design analysis, or simply design analysis, is frequently utilized. Several design analysis process models exist in the literature for the planning, execution and follow-up of such design analysis tasks. Most of these process models deal explicitly with design analysis tasks within two specific contexts: the context of design evaluation, and the context of design optimization. There are, however, several more contexts within which design analysis tasks are executed. Originating from industrial practice, four contexts were found to represent a significant part of all design analysis tasks in industry. These are: 1. Explorative analysis, aiming at the determination of important design parameters associated with an existing or predefined design solution (of which design optimization is a part). 2. Evaluation, aiming at giving quantitative information on specific design parameters in support of further design decisions. 3. Physical testing, aiming at validating design analysis models through physical testing, that is, determining the degree to which models are accurate representations of the real world from the perspective of the intended uses of the models. 4. Method development, that is the development, verification and validation of specific guidelines, procedures or templates for the design analyst and/or the engineering designer to follow when performing a design analysis task. A design analysis process model needs to be able to deal with at least these four. In this work, a process model named the generic design analysis (GDA) process model, is applied to these four contexts. The principles for the adaptation of the GDA process model to different contexts are described. The use of the GDA process model in these contexts is exemplified with industrial cases: explorative analysis of design parameters of a bumper beam system, the final physical acceptance tests of a device transportation system (collision test, drop test, vibration test), and the method development of a template for analyzing a valve in a combustion engine. The "Evaluation" context is not exemplified as it is the most common one in industry. The GDA process model has been successfully used for the four contexts. Using the adaptation principles and industrial cases, the adaptation of the GDA process model to additional contexts is also possible.

- Design methods are necessary to support product development companies in improving their product development processes, and thereby in producing high quality products. The uptake of design methods in product development companies is limited and lower than one might expect. There is a wide variety of literature related to factors that influence the uptake of design methods in companies. In this paper, we synthesised this literature, and in particular, developed a framework of factors than can influence the uptake of design methods in product development companies.

- Syftet med denna studie har varit att söka ett systematiskt sätt att hantera problemsituationer under examensarbetshandledning. Ett teoretiskt ramverk har framställts med hjälp av litteratur om arbetspsykologi respektive handledning av doktorander. För att testa relevans och giltighet av ramverket genomfördes en intervju-undersökning om hantering av problematiska handlednings-situationer bland lärare från LTH. Totalt har 17 personer från fyra avdelningar på två olika institutioner deltagit. Respondenterna svarade på hur de hade agerat i fyra problemsituationer som handledare brukar konfronteras med. Handledarnas strategier analyserades baserat på ramverket och man kunde bekräfta att framgångsrika strategier riktade sig mot sak och inte person, samt att dessa kunde klassificeras enligt ramverket. Ramverket bör kunna användas i praktiken av handledare för att hitta lösningar i problematiska handledningssituationer.

- This paper aims to support the decision-making tasks regarding the integration of packaging development into product development. Based on the study of the interactions of the product and packaging during the whole product life cycle, a set of packaging-related factors was extracted and mapped to a general product development model, which at a strategic level can be used to define an integrated product development policy. At a tactical level, the mapping matrices are used to support the product development projects planning. At an operational level, they can be used to make packaging-related decisions during an ongoing product development project.

- 1 INTRODUCTION In a global and highly competitive economy, companies have now adopted an increasingly integrated ap-proach to product development. However, packaging logistics has been left out from this integration trend. The reasons are multiple: first packaging is not considered to be an integral part of the product, so it is not part of the product “culture” of the company. In most companies, packaging is considered only at the production phase or as a logistic matter. Secondly, and as importantly, there are multiple ways of inte-grating packaging into product development – and packaging development is often performed by several external suppliers – but no general decision-making supports are available to develop a thorough policy in favour of this integration [1]. 2 OBJECTIVE This paper presents a support for guiding the strategic activity of integrating packaging development into product development. It consists on a set of factors that will help the manager chosing among, and build-ing on, a set of 4 types of strategies. 3 METHODS First the concept of integration is defined, the packaging issues at a strategic level are developed and the major strategy definition types from the literature are described. The types of strategies presented in the support have been extracted from the literature and cases from a survey by [2]. The factors have been de-termined by a systemic approach and their search has been performed using a functional analysis method-ology and a technical packaging literature review (presented in [1). The factors’ influence levels have been determined by a set of criteria (Impact on amount of work for design development, impact on amount of work for manufacturing development, manufacturing investment, consequence if the factor has not been taken into account). 4 RESULTS As a support for integrating packaging development into product development. The manager has at dis-posal the description of 4 possible strategies integrating packaging development into product development and a set of packaging-specific factors to help him or her in making a more informed choice. The first step is merely to appropriate the different strategy models that can be as much scenarios or sources of inspira-tion the company could adapt. The factors are of 4 types: 1. the functions the product has to fulfil that can be implemented into either the product or the packaging; 2. likewise, a set of working principles types (or modes of operation) corresponding to the functions is defined, 3. the product physical properties and elements that refer to the functions and modes of operations (these factors are thus interrelated and mapped to each other); 4. the product family elements concern the whole family of a product. A level of influence has been also affected to each factor: direct influence (DI); potential influence (PI): the factor can be important for some types of products; minor influence (MI): except for some exceptions, the factor will not influence the degree of integration of packaging development into product development. […] The 4 types of strategies are: 1. Total integration: packaging is considered as a part of a product, on the same level as any other part. 2. Extended enterprise: the product company chooses not to have packaging as one of its core competen-cies, but packaging development is still sufficiently intertwined with product development to need a strong, long-term partnership with the packaging company(ies). 3. Virtual enterprise: similar to the extended enterprise, the partnership concerns here only a peculiar pro-ject. 4. Supplier-buyer: the packaging is treated as a simple component of a product. 5 CONCLUSION Based on 4 integration strategy models and a guideline, this support should help strategy planners define their own integrated product development strategies. Further development should include an empirical database (of case studies for example) to guide further the manager in his/her choice. Instead of 4 sets of strategies, it could be possible to break down them into smaller components the manager could choose. This would make possible to model the strategy definition task as a classification or as a configuration design task, and apply the methods developed in knowledge-based system (see [3]).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The need for dedicated fixtures for flexible manufacturing systems is increasing, as dedicated fixtures are lighter, more compact and, more accurate than flexible fixtures. The main challenges are that parts and processes are more and more complex, which requires designing novel or complex dedicated fixtures, and that, for one given flexible fixture to be replaced, several variants of such dedicated fixtures must be designed to hold a variety of individual parts, without imposing increased costs and delays. The systematic fixture design method and computer-aided design fixture system (CAFDS) developed and applied for the presented industrial case—novel design of lightweight (carbon fibre composite) robot grippers—is a possible approach to address these issues.

- Computer-based design analysis is nowadays a common activity in most development projects. Used for design evaluation, verification, validation, or as a support for design exploration, it fulfils an important support function for the engineering designer, thus making it essential to have an operationally efficient and effective integration between both the engineering design and design analysis activities in the overall development project. In this area, most works are focusing on software (mainly CAD/CAE) integra-tion, but not on the integration between computer-based design analysis and engineering design at the process level or on the collaboration between the engineering designer and the design analyst. This paper presents a review of the literature on that specific topic, namely the integration of the computer-based design analysis activity in the engineering design process. Different research topics are identified and elaborated upon: integration in general process models; rec-ommendations for the different analysis steps; analysis early in the engineering design process; integration of design analysis in the engineering designer's work; alternative usages of design analysis in the engineering design process; and others, such as recommending guidelines instead of process models, quality assurance aspects, education, and implementation issues. Some neglected aspects were also identified. Among others, there is a lack of research into the so-called technology development (development of design analysis procedures and guidelines), and a need for emphasis on uncertainties, both coupled with the design analysis activity.
